A great many, if I'm to make a life and death determination. If I was empowered to make such a determination and someone gave me 15 second-bits of tape, I'd be insulted, no matter which side it was.
What do you want to bet that there is video of equal duration to the ones posted that show *no* response? How fair woudl it be to only post those?
Context is important.
"What do you want to bet that there is video of equal duration to the ones posted that show *no* response? How fair woudl it be to only post those?"
OK, so there's equal duration of the opposite. That I don't doubt.
So what do you do now? Sometimes she's responsive, sometimes she's catatonic? So she's in and out. That's not the same as "she's out" all the time.
People who are ill or have concussions are in and out. Are they all assumed "vegetables" cuz they can't always stay conscious, do things and think straight?
BTW, from what I heard she's called PVS - partially vegetative state. Not even whole vegetable? I don't know about any of this stuff (and haven't been following this case closely at all) but that doesn't sound like some1 who's totally hopeless.
